tfontana Profile

Pint at St. Louis Brewmasters, St. Louis airport. Clear, pale, bright yellow, light sparkle, ring of head and trace lacing. Aroma is strong floral/herbal over base malt. Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste with lingering bitterness. Good strength of aroma and flavor—jasmine really comes through. Much preferable to 4 hands Single Speed sampled an hour ago.
